Welcome to the 55th installment of The Wal-Mart Weekly, a column dedicated to bringing you insight, wit, facts, results, opinions, and just a bit of everything else when it comes down to a very hot topic these days: Wal-Mart.

In this week's Wal-Mart Weekly, I'll be looking at what seems to be second nature to many Americans in this day and age -- hating Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE: WMT). Like many divisive issues these days (think Democratic candidates), many Americans I have met either love or hate Wal-Mart. There seems to be little to no middle ground. I can very much understand the love many customers have over Wal-Mart. But the hatred?

Welcome to the eleventh installment of The Wal-Mart Weekly, a new weekly column dedicated to bringing you insight, wit, facts, results, opinions and just a bit of everything else when it comes down to a very hot topic these days: Wal-Mart.

Last week I looked at Wal-Mart Stores' (NYSE: WMT) stores in relation to The Home Depot and Lowe's to see what effect the home improvement chains were having on those same product categories at Wal-Mart. My guess? Not much, really.

Today, let's look at how Wal-Mart's store format strategy is working out here in the U.S. The retailer has the Supercenter, discount store and Neighborhood Market formats (not including Sam's Club). What is the specific purpose of each one? Let's find out -- and see if Wal-Mart needs to re-mix some formats in certain areas of the country.
